Even while traveling alone is fun, having a few travel partners is even better. Dogs and cats make excellent travel companions if you enjoy both traveling and animals. Having your cat and dog along will make the experience even more enjoyable.
A surprising couple, Henry and Baloo, make their parents’ visits more memorable and entertaining. If you don’t think a dog and a cat can be pals, Henry and Baloo are here to show you how incorrect you are. It was fated that the two best friends would cross paths.
Cynthia Bennett and Andre Sibilsky have been traveling with their adorable four-legged hikers for numerous years, and each of their exciting journeys has left them speechless. Henry offers Baloo his back (or his head – Baloo’s favorite area) to rest on when the cat gets tired on lengthy journeys to help alleviate Henry’s separation anxiety. It’s obvious that the two of them enjoy spending time together because they do everything together.
When we can’t be there in person to experience Henry and Baloo’s precious moments with them, their mother Cynthia, a talented photographer, captures them on camera for us to enjoy online. They’ve amassed over 2 million followers on their Instagram account, making them major celebrities on the social media network.
Nobody suspected that they were both rescue animals who had been adopted from animal shelters. Henry was Cynthia and Andre’s first hiking companion when they adopted him at the age of three months in 2014. Henry was the ideal choice for the pair since he was large, vivacious, and full of energy.
On their website Our Wild Tails, Cynthia explained that they adopted Henry, formerly known as Buttercup, when he was just 3.5 months old. “I was about to let him go when he climbed into my lap and immediately went belly up. He climbed the steepest rock to gain a better perspective when we took him on his first hike that week.”
She went on to say, “This was the mountain dog of our dreams.” Following an eventful second decade, Henry’s passion for the outdoors only deepened.
Baloo, the new addition to the small family, was born in the year 2017. At first, things were difficult. After searching for three months, the couple finally found Henry the best friend for his mental illness.
Cynthia wrote about Baloo, “As I walked into his room, he was the first out of his litter to jump off the chair and run up to me, begging to be picked up.” “We played, snuggled, and bonded during the hour I spent getting to know him. He was a perfect fit for our family. That day, I adopted Baloo, and as I walked out of the room to fill out the paperwork, I turned around to see Baloo standing up on the glass door, staring at me.”
Cynthia was worried about Henry’s reaction in front of his new friend, but it turned out she had nothing to worry about. They fall in love with each other more and more with each trip, and their incredible friendship will not end there!
Please spread the word about Henry and Baloo’s delightful adventure!
